Re: [OM] Last minute request

[Chuck Norcutt]

Having shot many events I can personally attest that shooting it and 
being there are radically different things.  Doing good flash work is 
difficult since you often can't control the circumstances.  About the 
best you can do is set up a separate radio controlled light or two 
reflecting off ceiling or walls to act as fill or background light. 
Often you can't do even that and have to be satisfied with a single 
bounced light or perhaps two but both still attached to the camera.
But if you're forced to use only a single light you can usually do 
better than the point & shoot crowd by upping the ISO and dragging the 
shutter to light the background.
